      @dr.Revenue you are joking right? Rush Hour is wonderful but isn't even close to being the original Buddy Cop movie lol. The genre was mainly created by Beverly Hills Cop in the 80's, and became a firmly established franchise in the early 90's due to the Lethal Weapon movies. Rush Hour was just taking on a proven formula, and did so in a unique and fun way--but it sure isn't the original buddy cop movie that started them all lol

      I personally feel that even with the amazing visual effects and highly fascinating sci-fi epics we get today- nothing will be able to touch the great nostalgia, visual splendor and great script writing, production that is The Fifth Element. Two other great science fiction films, in my opinion are Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planets and also Avatar. Avatar is a bit overrated, but the first one (having been released in 2009) I thought was also a bit ahead of its time. Shortly after, we got Tron Legacy as well. That was super awesome to see in theaters!

    I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, for me Tucker and Chan as two main leading male costars in the Rush Hour trilogy will always be the best of them all. So many happy memories I have of watching them again and again and they never disappoint.

    Chris has hit that age where he's mellowed out a bit and is doing some really interesting character stuff. I love it

    Chris Tucker was the perfect casting for the Rush Hour movies, his mannerisms and chemistry with Jackie Chan worked so well that I can't really imagine anyone else as Carter.

    Definitely made my childhood as a 90s baby. My dad showed me Rush Hour and brought me to the theater to see Rush Hour 2 as a kid and I swear I remember it like it was yesterday. Im 27 today. There will NEVER be another Chris Tucker.

    Love that bit about Chris Tucker giving praise to Charlie Sheen for insisting that Chris be first on the bill for Money Talks. Everyone knows the drama and memes of Charlie Sheen but that humanizes these "larger than life" characters we see on our TV's. Cool story. Those bits of behind of the scenes are my favorite part of these iconic character breakdowns.

    The 5th element was Chris Tucker’s masterpiece in my opinion. He was absolutely on level with Bruce Willis in that movie.. it wouldn’t have been the same without Chris.. bravo, artiste! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

      plus the way he played off Willis very dry energy was a really good counterbalance

      He played so out of the usual character that it was amazing to see. Especially now after Bruce’s diagnosis

    Dead Presidents is such an underrated masterpiece. Says more about contemporary America than most want to admit.
